Bravo!" - Brian Selznick , Caldecott Medal winner "After reading The Secret of the Magic Pearl, I want to move straight to the tiny Italian fishing village where its hero Hector lives, and become a deep sea diver like him. It's a charming book, spiked with excitement and mystery, paced for extended sitting, and generously illuminated with lush and lively illustrations." - Paul O. Zelinsky , Caldecott Medal winner "Adventure, wisdom, beauty, dreams, it's all here in this shining pearl of a book, picture perfect for a bedtime read-aloud for your seven/eight-year-old." - Avi , Newbery Medal winner "Definitely a book to spend time with, not just reading but thoroughly combing through the illustrations, relishing all the details from beginning to end. . . The Secret of the Magic Pearl is a chapter book that combines past and present in a magical story. It will enchant readers in the same way that stories by Kate DiCamillo do." - Randomly Reading Blog "Wonderfully imaginative, magical, and bursting with superb illustrations. The Secret of the Magic Pearl is everything an excellent story should be and more." - Books to Borrow - Books to Buy , syndicated column, "Beautiful, remarkable, amazing, and wonderful in every way." -- Starred Review, Kirkus "Sabatinelli provides Hector with a voice that soars with lilting, expressive language, losing nothing in Turner's translation from Italian. Bruno's intensely bright, sharply hued illustrations are a tour de force" -- Starred Review, Kirkus
